I'm hopeful that this time
it's not just a social media trend to care.
I'm hopeful that we are actually in the midst
of a full makeover of our broken systems
that have been built off
the oppression of Black and brown people.
I think if you love Star Trek and what it stands for,
then you know that Black lives matter,
but now is the time to take that even further.
Knowing is not enough anymore.
Every Star Trek movie or show
is a lesson in empathy,
which is exactly the kind of education
that we as a people need
and is the only way forward.
I mean, none of our favorite Star Trek heroes
save the day by themselves,
by just thinking they're the only ones who are right.
The only way that we save the day,
or the world, the universe,
is by working with our crew.
